Wearing a cloud-like rosy brocade shirt, with her hair tied into a bun, her neck lowered and parted, she walked slowly without raising a trace of smoke and dust. She looked around at the situation here and said slowly.
Comment on what the two disciples said.
The fact that the Huns can have such a strategy shows that there are strategists among the Huns, and they can see the emptiness of Qin's current defense in the north.
Therefore, the Xiongnu dared to go south and invade.
If we wait for Qin to stabilize the Shandong areas, then... it will be hard to say.
Perhaps, before Qin could stabilize the lands in Shandong, the Golden Fire Cavalry under Meng Tian would go north to catch the Huns by surprise.
When you think it's most impossible, I'll give you a fierce attack.
This is the way of a military strategist.
Soldiers, deceitful ways!
Ever-changing and unexpected.
"There will still be a war after all."
"Master, if the Qin State really wipes out the Xiongnu of Beihu in the future, what will happen at that time?"
Zhao Shui sighed softly.
Walking all the way from the northern border.
People here live really hard lives.
Compared with Guanzhong, there is a huge difference.
Compared with the Central Plains, the same is true.
They are also the people of Zhuxia, and they should enjoy such peace, an environment free from foreign enemies, and the bustle of the rest of Zhuxia.
But here... that's not the case.
The instability caused by war is one of the big factors.
If Qin really has the ability to wipe out Beihu in the future, it may be better.
Probably?
Zhao Shui thought so.
"The yin and yang of all things."
"War, chaos, and peace are not eternal truths."
"Survival and death are eternal."
"Just like cultivation, when you break through a level in cultivation and break free from a shackle, there will often be a new obstacle approaching."
"After the Qin State wipes out Beihu, perhaps new problems will arise."
"Zhu Xia... will not be stable forever."
"Eternal stability means disorder of yin and yang, and the consequences of disorder of yin and yang are very serious."
Having followed Master Zou Yan all over the country, and in recent years personally observing the Xia Dynasty, Ji Yanran has already realized this for herself.
Zhu Xia!
Qin!
Countries!
War!
Everything...is getting more and more interesting.
"Greater virtue than virtue, great harmony and bliss!"
"Master, is it possible that it will never happen?"
The founder of Taoism once said, "To be virtuous is not to be virtuous, so we have virtue; to be virtuous is not to be virtuous, so we are not to be virtuous."
Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, also said that the conduct of the Great Dao means that the world is for the common good, selects the talented and capable, adheres to trust and cultivates harmony. Therefore, we do not only kiss our relatives, we do not only care for our children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, and the young will have something
long.
...It is because people seek to be closed but not prosper, because they steal and cause chaos but not commit crimes, and because people are outside but not closed, this is called Datong.
Although the two linguistic theories are different, they are generally the same.
If it is true what Master said, isn't it true that what the two sages said is false?
"Is it vain to be one with all things?"
"The road is difficult, and the Xia is difficult. Maybe one day, there will be a day."
"But, that day... I don't know when it will be!"
Ji Yanran looked at the two disciples.
I have answered this question before, but... the answer is the answer.
Reality is reality.
The principles discussed by the two sages are very good.
But in Ji Yanran's opinion, it's very difficult.
Unless in the future summers, everyone is like a dragon, everyone can clearly understand the mysterious knowledge, everyone has a mind that has no attachment, and everyone has a desire that has no attachment.
In this way, everything is possible.
And that... was very difficult, very difficult.
people!
All have seven emotions and six desires.
That is the obstruction of the world that the sages talked about.
Therefore, the Confucian scholar Confucius taught the world with benevolence and etiquette. If everyone knows etiquette, great harmony can be expected.
Sure enough, if everyone is immoral, then the so-called ethics of benevolence and etiquette are useless. That is the greatest ethics of benevolence and etiquette, which means that the above virtues are not moral.
The more emphasis is placed on benevolence, etiquette, and truth, the more Zhuxia lacks these things.
There are tens of thousands of people in Xia, but not a single one is literate. How can we teach benevolence, etiquette and morality? So... it is very difficult.
"The Qin State's method, the magic power gathered by one person's power, cannot last long."
"I really don't know what the world of Shangde and Datong will be like. Is there no law anymore?"
Law!
In fact, it is also an expression of benevolence and propriety. To a certain extent, it is precisely because people do not understand benevolence and propriety that they use the law to correct them.
It is indeed the true law of heaven and earth, that’s all.
And the laws of Qin.
Although it is governed by law, it is also governed by people.
The power is in the hands of one person. Maybe Ying Zheng is a... good monarch, but what about the others?
Like the king of Zhao who moved in the past?
What about him?
In Handan, he ascended the throne as the King of Zhao and held power. How ridiculous!
"Law!"
"Maybe there is!"
"Maybe not!"
Ji Yanran smiled, this question is very interesting.
I really haven't thought about it carefully.
"Master, girl, that's Mount Ciji, right?"
"Is this the place where Zhao Xiangzi's sister, Mrs. Ciji, died?"
Ziyang stood by and listened quietly.
I traveled with Master throughout the summers and explained everything I saw and doubts encountered. Some of them can be clearly understood and confirmed the principles taught by Master in his early years. I have benefited a lot.
Some of them are still doubtful, but they are always reviewed.
Walking on the main road, looking into the distance, he raised his bare hand and pointed at a mountain. On the map, the name of that mountain was Ciji Mountain.
The origin of the name is very... strange.
"Zhao Xiangzi!"
"The person who established the foundation of the Zhao Kingdom."
"It's Ciji Mountain. I visited here with Master Zou Yan when I was my teacher. At that time... there were also Zhao State's garrison here."
"Because he killed the king in an attack and heard that his sister stabbed herself to death, Zhao Xiangzi buried her here and sent soldiers to guard her."
"Zhao has been like this for generations."
"A woman who stabs Ji is a fierce person."
Ji Yanran commented.
For the great cause of his family, Zhao Xiangzi did not hesitate to sacrifice his wife Ciji. After seizing the Dai land, did Zhao Xiangzi feel any shame in his heart?
There should be.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have soldiers guarding us.
"There is also a mausoleum built by Zhao Xiangzi for Mrs. Ciji on the mountain, and people often pay homage to her."
Pointing to Cajian Mountain in the distance, Ji Yanran said again.
"Master, then... let's go over and take a look?"
Zhao Shui and Zi Yang looked at each other, and their interest suddenly rose. They wanted to see Mrs. Ciji's mausoleum and pay homage in person.
Mrs. Ciji!
…
…
"This place is also deserted."
After a stick of incense.
With Ji Yanran personally leading them, they rode on the wind and rushed directly to Cajian Mountain.
Madam Ciji's mausoleum is not difficult to find, but it is... a bit deserted in front of me. The mausoleum that originally looked like a mausoleum should be magnificent.
At the moment it is in dire straits.
Even a corner of the stone tablet erected next to it was missing.
There are a lot of filthy things around.
The smell doesn't smell good either.
I wonder what Zhao Xiangzi would do if he saw this scene again?
"Many years have passed, and I didn't expect to be here..."
Ji Yanran couldn't bear it.
When I came here with the World Honored Master Zou Yan, there were still soldiers guarding the place. Although there were not many soldiers, the tomb here was still intact.
During every solar term, there are also sacrifices of their own.
Now...the State of Zhao no longer exists, and everything is lost.
He raised his hand to clean up the messy ground in front of him, and then looked at the incomplete stone tablet. He raised his hand and waved, and a huge stone flew from the distance.
A stroke becomes a knife.
A brand new stone tablet appeared. He stretched out his index finger and pressed it vertically and horizontally.
An inscription was erected in honor of Mrs. Ciji.
There isn't much I can do.
"Master."
"I heard that in the Protectorate Academy of the Qin State, there is a place for a martial arts temple, which houses the military generals of various countries for hundreds of years since the Spring and Autumn Period."
"Master, why don't you personally advise Mrs. Li in the harem and ask her to lobby Ying Zheng to establish a female shrine?"
"It's a name that accommodates women from three generations of antiquity."
"There is the second concubine Yu, the abandoned mother Jiang Yuan, and the betrothed mother Jian Di...these women are all good."
After bowing to the mausoleum of Madam Ciji in front of him, Zhao Shui felt something in his heart. He looked at his master and said what was suddenly in his mind at this moment.
The Qin State established the Wu Temple, one of which was to win over the hearts of the people of other countries.
Setting up a female temple can also have this effect.
What's more, for the Qin State, it is not a difficult task.
"oh?"
"Your proposal...is not bad."
"However, it's up to you to make your own suggestions."
"I feel that if you make suggestions in person, Mrs. Li will lobby for the success of the Yingzheng government no matter what."
"Master doesn't have that much face."
Hearing what his disciple Zhao Shui said, Ji Yanran was hesitant and startled at first, and then became happy.
Zhao Shui's advice is very good, at least I appreciate it very much.
And for the Qin State, it also has considerable benefits.
However, looking at Zhao Shui's graceful and beautiful face, he took a step forward, gently stroked the girl's hair, and smiled in a different way.
"girl."
"Zi Yang feels the same way."
Little Ziyang also smiled.
"Master!"
Zhao Shui's pretty face turned red, and she glanced at Zi Yang, saying she was just making trouble.
Master does the same.
Just know how to make fun of yourself.
"You see, even Ziyang thinks that what he said is right."
"Tianming!"
"He is a good boy. In Lanling City, my teacher also watched Tianming grow up."
"You are already halfway to becoming a god now. Once you have completely stabilized your transformation into a god, my teacher will not be able to teach you anything."
Ji Yanran looked at the two disciples lovingly.
Summoning water is enough to pass on the principles of the wise men of the Yin Yang family.
Ziyang is not bad, even if his qualifications are slightly inferior, but with his own help, it will not be difficult to set foot in the transformation of gods in the future.
Zhao Shui's identity is unique, and Tian Ming is the most suitable one for Zhu Xia Jian. The key is that the two grew up together and have a vague affection for each other.
You can see it yourself.
"Tianming!"
"I don't know where he is now?"
I ignored the master's joke, but... I was still concerned about Senior Brother Tianming's current situation. It had been more than a year since I left Lanling City and a year since I left Xianyang, and there was no letter from Senior Brother Tianming.
It may be difficult to find their destination.
Brother Tianming!
I don't know if I'm still that stupid.
Because of what happened in Lanling City, I was angry with him. Later I wanted to say something, but Lanling City was destroyed and I left with my master.
I don’t know what senior brother Tianming is like now.
"Perhaps, he will come to you in person."
"If he has his heart."
Ji Yanran smiled again.
Watching Zhao Shui grow up gradually, I feel really emotional. Time flies so fast, especially when standing on this mountain.
At that time, in front of Master Zou Yan, I was only a few years older than Zhao Shui.
Now, after a few decades, his disciples have grown so big.
"He...maybe."
Zhao Shui has some expectations.
But also a little uneasy.
It's a very indescribable feeling.
"Girl, I heard Tianming say that his hometown is Puyang, the land of Weiguo."
"Master, how about we go to Puyang when we return from Yandi?"
